Luigi sat in the easychair with a worried expression on his face. They had just informed him that Mario was in danger of being assasinated. Now Luigi had troops outside his house, just in case he was being targeted too.

"I can't just sit here while my brother is in danger. I have to do something," thought Luigi. But there was nothing he could do but pray he was alright.

Mario ran through the woods, twigs cutting into his flesh. He tripped and slammed his face into a tree, jumping straight back up and running, noticing his nose was bleeding. He was panicking. Finally he reached the end of the woods, the panic letting off a little.

"I've got to get to the castle," said Mario to himself. But he couldn't be seen, so he went to visit a friend.

Mario slammed on the door. A goomba answered.

"Oh, Mario! How are you?" Goompa(from Paper Mario)greeted.

"I can't stay. Do you have any clothes i can borrow?" said Mario quickley.

"Uh, I think I have one thing. But Mario, whats going on? You seem-"

"Quick, get it. I can't explain now."

"Alright, alright." He ran into his house and came back out with a black overcoat.

Mario grabbed it and started walking off. "Thanks," he called back. Goompa's forhead wrinkled up in confusion, then shrugged and went back inside.

Mario slipped on the overcoat, covering his famous clothes and taking off his hat, stuffing it in a pocket. He tried to cover his face with the collar of his overcoat.

When he reached a town, he was releived, even though anyone around could be looking for him. Then he saw a human talking into their shirt's collar like he was a securety guard. They were onto him.

He slipped into the crowd leading to a train.

"Uh, when's the next train to Toad Town coming?" Mario asked a mushroom at the ticket booth.

"The next one to Toad Town? Only about a half hour," replied the mushroom.

"Okey, I'd like one ticket to Toad Town please."

"Okay, can I see some I.D.?"

"Shit, its at my house," thought Mario. A frustrated look came across his face.

"Sir, are you okay?" Mario just walked away without a reply. How was he going to get there? He started looking around for cars with keyes in them. After a while he found one. Mario picked up a rock and threw it at the window, unlocking it and jumping into the car, screeching the tires as he drove off. The police would be on him soon, but he had to get to the castle. He needed answers before it was too late.
